sartort Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I know it can take up to 4 weeks but I have been waiting for an online university's transcript to show up on CASPA. I didn't expect it to take three weeks for a transcript to be mailed because all my others have been there since the beginning of July. I am getting nervous because some of the deadlines are September 1st for the programs I'm applying to and I was hoping someone knew how long it's been taking CASPA to finish processing after they receive everything.

d3t3rm1n3d Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It's taking 2-3 weeks, currently. I submitted mine of July 18, and today it states that they just began processing ones from July 12. At a rate of 1 submission date per business day, with none being processed on the weekends, I anticipate mine to be verified sometime next week. I would contact CASPA about your transcript, did you receive confirmation from your school that it had been sent? I usually get email or text alerts when my transcript requests are fulfilled. I know that if you took classes at a university that had multiple campuses, and you took classes at various campuses, not all of the campuses would be marked as received on CASPA until you submit it, even though they had the transcript.

sartort Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Thank you for letting me know. I submitted it before the transcripts were received. The school is saying they mailed it on the 17th and CASPA is saying it may take 7-10 business days to show up as received. The school claimed it took them almost two weeks to receive the request, then couldn't process it because it was Friday and mailed it on a Tuesday. It seemed ridiculous that my other transcripts were processed, mailed and showed CASPA received them several days before this one school even received my request that I sent on the same day, but I don't have control over that. I just wish I had requested it months ago. Two of the programs I applied to have the September 1st deadline defined as "Verified by CASPA" which is why I'm a little worried, but if it only takes 3 weeks I should be fine. I just hate being that close to a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzpa Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I submitted mine on July 21. It was verified today, July 25. :;;D: I was pleasantly surprised. However, before I submitted my application they had already received all of my information (transcripts, LOR, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTC 526 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I just checked my CASPA and it says "Complete date currently being verified: 07/16/12". Yet yesterday it said the 13th, so I guess it depends on how many people actually submitted theirs each day. Hopefully it continues with this fast pace though! You should be fine for your September 1st deadline, especially if you don't have to complete any supplemental apps after CASPA is actually verified. Good luck!

sartort Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thank you all for giving me hope! Anything to ease my worries at this point is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I submitted my caspa on 6/28 and it got mailed 7/20. All schools I've applied to have already confirmed they received my application. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeachen Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hello all, I am finishing my PS and getting my stuff in, CASPA says submit everything 6 weeks before the deadline. Should I still apply to schools with a Sept 1st deadline or is it too risky?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sartort Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I spoke with someone a few days ago who said it is only taking about 4 days to process currently, but then I don't know why it takes 10+ business days to process a transcript IF they have it. I'm STILL waiting on a transcript I requested at the beginning of July to show up and had to send an express envelope through express mail to the school in case it didn't show up because I have no idea at this point. If I had predicted this obstacle I wouldn't have added schools with Sep 1st verified/completed deadlines until everything was completed, which is what I would suggest for you. You can always add a Sep 1st deadline once your app is processed, but you can't remove one you've already paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkwee Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Took them exactly 7 days to process my app. It was a lot sooner than I thought, so now I need to actually do my supplementals and not slack off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sartort Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thank you all for the responses. I'm still freaking out though because my transcript is still not showing up at CASPA. I sent the school a pre-paid and addressed express mail envelope (through another express mail envelope) and I'm starting to think it's all on the school. Apparently only one person there deals with transcripts and every time I call she isn't in her office. I've already paid a total of $80 just trying to get this one transcript into CASPA and I am incredibly frustrated, but I do appreciate you all giving me some hope.

kurosuto Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 shouldnt take that long for your transcript to be posted. I believe mine was posted within a week(went to my school to request on Monday, and it was posted no more than a week later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sartort Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 kurosuto: I've spoken with CASPA several times and apparently because it is a non-listed US institution it has to be sent to a managers desk and they have to sign off on it. Regardless, it should have been on her desk within 10 business days and it wasn't. I've now requested 3 transcripts total from the same school and will likely miss several deadlines for programs I've already paid for because of this. But you are right, it shouldn't take nearly as long as it has so something is going wrong and is completely out of my control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 wow I feel stupid now, I barely submitted mine today and the school I'm applying to has a deadline on Sept 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sartort Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 wrestler133: Deadline definitions vary. Some require submitted status (which you have now), some complete (all documents received and waiting for verification) and others require verified status. You can find the definition used by the program you are applying to by clicking on the school in CASPA. I hope it just needs to be submitted. Good luck!

Will352ns Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 anyone know how long they're taking to verify now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baussie Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I submitted Aug 30th and still have not been verified, although they're on 8/28 as of today, so it's getting close to my submit date! So roughly 2 weeks, since today makes exactly 14 days since my submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TThielen Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Roughly 2-3 weeks. I submitted mine on 8/19. It was verified late last week but was mailed this week, since they only do mailings once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkPAck Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I submitted mine 8/25, it was verified on 9/8, and officially mailed on 9/12. Now I'm just waiting around for a supplemental app...... Hurry up and wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
